When we were almost done, Scotty started whining about Spanish Cedar.
I couldn't bear the thought of lining the drawers, so we decided to replace the birch slats with spanish cedar slats. Plenty of stink, plus they're completely hidden from view (like the beads).
Hiding all the odd stuff really made a nice, clean, understated job.
We did everything keeping in mind that we might want to add more drawers later.
We kept the drawer on top long so that it went up past the top shelf, creating a "lip" of sorts to keep from piling boxes too close to the door.
The drawers are flush with the back of the slots so that there's complete circulation all around the cigars. Down the road we may want to do something to help make a nice circular airflow up the back, across the top, down the front, back across the bottom, etc., but it's wholly unnecessary right now.
